Ayurvedic Massage

What is an ayurvedic massage?

​

After determining my client‘s unique constitution (doshas) during a consultation, I use specially selected oils with excellent absorption, hydration and healing properties for improvement of the function of their mind-body types or doshas (Vata/Pitta/Kapha) and main presenting complaint.

Ayurvedic massage is done with great awareness of the marmas and chakras. In ayurveda, marmas are vital points, similar to acupressure points. They are located at junctions where muscles, vessels, ligaments and bones meet and one considered the seat of vital energy (prana).

​

The massage works on both physical and mental levels.

Physically it helps all systems of the body, the immune, respiratory, nervous, endocrine, circulatory, muscular, skeleton, digestive and lymphatic.

Mentally it helps the mind to relax.
